10:30:53 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:30:54 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.2.10
10:30:54 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:30:54 User actions detected.
10:30:54 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:30:54 Dome is MaxDome
10:30:54 MaxIm DL is version 6.21
10:30:54 Imager is QSI Universal
10:30:54 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:30:54 Selecting filter I from previous ACP run at 20210225@102822 UTC
10:30:54 Imager readout modes:
10:30:54   0 is Image Quality
10:30:54 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:30:54 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
10:30:54 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:30:54 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:31:00 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.32 V = 0.32
10:31:00 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 17.8 V = 13.4
10:31:00 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:31:00 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
